Chapter 1176: Chapter 711: The End of the Dream, The Return of the Powerhouse (Part 1)_2 Chapter 1176: Chapter 711: The End of the Dream, The Return of the Powerhouse (Part 1)_2 Without a doubt, it was Green Dragon General Diluns, the one who once sent Taylor to his death.
As for the group of commanders around him, Leo Ray was not unfamiliar with them; they were almost all familiar faces from the previous military camp.
âHim again?â
Looking at the other partyâs cold face, Leo Ray couldnât help but frown.
It could be observed that although Diluns, as a member of the Dragon Clan, had not shown any changes in his appearance due to his long life, the other commanders had clearly aged.
âIt seems that several years have passed since the last Illusion Realm military camp incident, and from Green Dragon General Dilunsâ brazen attitude, surrounded by stars, itâs not hard to see that this is his Dragon Hall.â
âI wonder how Taylor is doing at this point in time? What will be his connection with them this time?â
As Leo Ray thought about this, Brocade Winthropâs crisp voice came over: âMr. Lane, I can feel that this is the deepest part of Taylorâs dream.â
âAt this location, Taylor, who is lost in the Illusion Realm, should already be able to sense our presence more or less. So once Taylor appears, please seize the opportunity and do your best to wake him up, and the best time to do that is when his mind is in the most turmoil.â
Brocade Winthropâs voice gradually became stern and continued, âIn addition, the âNightmare Spiritâ that can also harm you and me has not shown any signs yet, so please be extra vigilant Mr. Lane.â
âUnderstood.â
Leo Ray nodded and refocused his attention on Green Dragon General Diluns and his lackeys.
After the unrestrained laughter, there was a playful look in Dilunsâ dark green eyes as he taunted, âIf it werenât for me taking action personally, how could Taylorâs father, the Dragon Slayer Ian, have gone down so easily?â
âHehe, worthy of the Kingdomâs Chief General.â
A short, fat commander stepped forward and flattered Diluns, âAccording to the Generalâs instructions, I only told Ian that some villagers were attacked; that foolish man rushed into our encirclement without asking any questions when he saw the burning village.â
âThen, he just happened to encounter a Green Dragon âteachingâ the villagers and attacked without hesitation.â
The smile on Dilunsâ face grew thicker as he teased, âSince that fellow took the initiative to attack me and threatened my life, it was only reasonable that I eliminated him.â
âThe General is right; we took out Dragon Slayer Ian at the cost of just one insignificant village, which is an excellent bargain.â
The fat commanderâs horizontal muscles trembled on his face as he laughed, âThis thorn in our side that had lingered beneath our watchful gaze has finally been eliminated!â
âWith the last Dragon Slayer guarding this kingdom dead, the kingdom is now truly in the hands of our Green Dragon Nobility.â
Diluns nodded sinisterly, saying, âFrom now on, no one will question our rule anymore.â
âHehe, General Diluns is indeed ruthless, unlike His Majesty the Dragon King, who always strictly forbids us from attacking the Dragon Slayers.â
Another thin commander shrugged and first flattered Diluns, then said helplessly, âHis Majesty is indeed too kind-hearted.â
âYou donât understand His Majesty. You think His Majesty is really kind-hearted? Thatâs a huge mistake! In the past, His Majesty personally destroyed ten cities!â
Awe that couldnât be suppressed was revealed in Dilunsâ eyes as he continued, âAs for why His Majesty chose to spare the lives of these mortal enemies after taking the throne, he simply wanted them to witness the gradual decline of this country with their own eyes.â
âFor these hateful Guardians, what could be more painful and despairing than watching the homeland they love slowly slipping into decline?â
With that said, Diluns burst into unrestrained laughter once again.âSo thatâs how it is! No wonder His Majesty the Dragon King is so great!â
The short and fat commander had an enlightened expression on his face, and hurriedly echoed, âThe year when His Majesty the Dragon King and the General infiltrated the Royal Capital, killed the old king and the royal clansmen, I can still remember it vividly!â
âOur Dragon Clanâs valor goes without saying, but itâs also thanks to you Dragon Worshippers.â
Diluns raised an eyebrow and said leisurely, âEspecially the proposal you put forth, that for our Dragon Clan to rule this kingdom, we must first disgrace the Guardians worshipped by the people, so that they lose faith in heroes and even accept the rule of their enemies.â
âGeneral Diluns gives us too much credit. Manipulating the thoughts of those lowly commoners is simply too easy. At that time, we just spread false news about the Guardians colluding with enemies, and portrayed you and His Majesty the Dragon King as the embodiment of freedom and justice.â
The sycophantic expression on the short and fat commanderâs face became more apparent as he snickered, âOf course, before the arrival of the great Dragon Clan, we Dragon Worshippers had already been preparing for years.â
âYouâre truly the most obedient dogs of our Green Dragon Nobility!â
Diluns nodded in satisfaction, and jokingly said, âThese foolish commoners would never imagine that the freedom they believe in actually brings a more ruthless tyranny. How could our great Dragon Clan treat the insignificant Human Clan kindly? It is merely to more easily exploit everything from them! Hahaha!â
After a pause, Diluns looked at the short and fat nobleman with interest, and curiously asked, âIâve always had a question: as the indigenous nobility here, you should be protecting your own interests. Why would you welcome our rule?â
âYour Excellency the General, the matter is actually very simple.â
The short and fat commander grinned menacingly, and replied, âBefore this, we were all suppressed by those Dragon Slayers and had no say in anything. Even our territories and power were severely threatened. Those Dragon Slayers who only cared about the people were a disgrace to the nobility!â
âHowever, now that the ownership here has changed, our status and power have increased instead of falling, and weâre living a more luxurious life than before. Why shouldnât we be happy about it? As for the life and death of the Royal Family and the commoners, what does it have to do with us?â
âMoreover, those foolish commoners even despise the very Dragon Slayers of their own clan who had truly protected them and fought for them. What is there to sympathize with?â
The short and fat commander became increasingly impassioned, and flattered Diluns again, âOf course, all thanks are due to His Majesty the Dragon King, General, and the great Green Dragons.â
âSo thatâs how it is. We both got what we wanted.â
Diluns patted the short and fat nobleâs fatty head with satisfaction, and the latter had an extremely content and sycophantic expression, like a lap dog.
âIn any case, once Ian, the last Dragon Slayer, dies, everything will settle down.â
As Diluns walked towards the throne at the end of the hall, he continued, âFrom then on, we will have nothing to worry about.â
âWait, General, thereâs another person we need to get rid of.â
The short and fat commander seemed to remember something and obsequiously said, âThat would be the son of the Dragon Slayer, Taylor!â
âHim? If you hadnât mentioned him, I would have forgotten about him.â
Diluns had a sudden realization and frowned, âFive years ago, after the incident in the military camp, I expelled him from the army. There has been no news of him since then. I wonder how heâs doing now?â
âThis time at Ianâs house, we didnât find any trace of Taylor. It is said that he went into the mountains alone to practice.â
The short and fat commander bowed and quickly replied, âHowever, I have already sent out elite spies to search for him. Iâm sure weâll have news soonâŠâ
But before he could finish his sentence, a cold voice intervened, reaching the ears of everyone present.
âThereâs no need to search. Iâm right here!â
